Without a migration procedure most people end up reinstalling which can be a pain if you've spent a long time tweaking things and can't remember everything you've done.
Why did you migrate?
a. Time to spare (golf courses closed - snow)
b. Hibernation
I can't seem to get hibernation working. I migrated with a swap file rather than a partition. My /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume looks like this:
Code:
RESUME=UUID=95b5d034-f19b-4f3d-b509-f7eec40748a5 resume_offset=4063232
The UUID is /dev/sda4 (my root). The resume_offset is the number from:
Code:
$ sudo filefrag -v /swap/swap1.file
Filesystem type is: ef53
File size of /swap/swap1.file is 3174400000 (775000 blocks, blocksize 4096)

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1042946 ( HOWTO: Use swapfile instead of partition and hibernate ) gives instructions for updating grub, but they don't seem relevant to the current version of grub. But I don't see how that would prevent it from going INTO hibernation.
